How will farmers fare under the administration plan? Here's the projected program: To protect the farmer against anhe ticipated crop price fall-offwould be given a flexible price floor that would protect growers, but would not burden U. S. taxpayers with an extended permanent subsidy of farm surpluses. PROVIDE adequate storage facilities for farmers in corn and wheat belts to prevent loss of bumper crops. Extend reclamation and soil conservation benefits to more farmlands and provide an increased rural electrification for more farmers, this to be sponsored and paid for by the government. This, then, is an extension of the benefits which farmers may have felt were Imperiled in the Dewey program, and for which they felt they were voting when they cast their ballots for President Truman. s, 1.

And that, says Godfrey,! would mean an extra cost of $800 t0 $900 a week for each musician.

Evatt, general assembly president. THESE TWO made urgent appeal to chief executives of the four big powers going over the heads of these nations' U. N. delegations to do so to bring the Berlin dispute to an end and thus bring about world peace. This appeal was without avail. The United States, France and England said "no," politely but firmly. They declared the issue must remain in the hands of the U. N. security council until the Russian blockade is lifted. Russia reacted as usual, blaming the Western powers for the stalemate. Evatt and Lie argued that the dispute cannot be settled within the cramped confines of the security council and should be aired in the wider fields of the general assembly. AGGRAVATING the situation was the coming winter with its consequent obstacles to the air lift. The Russians appeared content to wait out this phase of American aid to Germany in the apparent conviction, or hope, that bad weather would so impair air lift efficacy as to make it negative in the battle for Germany. If the situation were to be resolved by diplomatic means, American thought and procedure on the question would carry top weight with the Big Three. Under this setup. President Truman's evident intention to spurn discussion of the problem unless the Berlin blockade were lifted, would indicate the United States was prepared to continue the "cold war" with the Russians, and to bet with the elements that the air lift would continue to be efficient and that Premier Stalin and his Communists would have to come to terms in the end. PRESIDENT TRUMAN reiterated that he planned no American mission of any sort to Moscow, and that he and Secretary Marshall were in accord on all questions.

NEW LIGHT: From Isaiah New light and interpretation ma be thrown on the Old Testament by discovery of the complete scroll of the Prophet Isaiah. All 66 chapters of the book, with only a few portions missing, have been found. One of the most dramatic Biblical discoveries of all time, the scroll was brought to light recently when four of the oldest Hebrew manuscripts thus far known were found in a cave near the northern end of the Dead Sea. Scholars date the Isaiah scroll as early Maccabean, or second century B. C, which would make it the oldest Biblical document yet to be discovered Intact. THE DISCOVERY of a complete Isaiah scroll, dating back a thousand years before the oldest one known, promises scholars an opportunity to seek new meaning from the Bible, and to determine by comparison the extent that errors may have found their wa into Biblical manuscripts with the passage of time. Bible scholars point out that the Bok of Isaiah, like all of the Bible, came dwn to us as the result of many copyings by scribes who would make additional scrolls si the old ones wore out Relieve Creomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden off!
